Everyone loves finding a bargain in the carpet sales. As shoppers, we’ve been trained to track down bargains online, so anything that promises a discount is bound to attract attention.

When you’re choosing new carpet for your home, it’s natural to focus on the colour, texture and design. Whether you’re looking at the latest nylon carpets or have your heart set on a premium wool berber – all eyes will be on the pile.

New carpet is one of the biggest purchases you will ever make. It’s also a choice you’re going to live with every day. Get it right, and you’ll enjoy a warm glow of satisfaction every time you step inside the front door. Get it wrong, and you’ll have to train your eyes to stay permanently fixed above floor level.

There’s a new breed of carpet rolling into New Zealand homes. More durable than many of the wool carpets we know and love, but with extra hardwearing qualities, these solution dyed nylon carpets offer some major advantages.

The whole point of fashion is that it constantly evolves. Hot new looks and previously undreamed of colour combinations appear on trendy TV shows and then colonise the homes of fashion-conscious people before percolating through to the mass market.

There are over 4,000,000 people in New Zealand, and most of them live in homes that feature carpet. Most of those homes have quite a few rooms and a range of different colour schemes.

Once you’ve bought your new carpet, it’s important for Harrisons to ensure that it is fitted and installed as simply, efficiently and speedily as possible, but there is a small amount of preparation required.

Tim Morrison has been a Harrisons Carpet business owner for 14 years in and around South Auckland and Counties Manukau, and he’s seen every reason under the sun as to why customers make that call to change their flooring at home.

How finding a great solution to a tricky flight of stairs helped create an amazing home transformation.

Harrisons has always prided itself on being a family-owned and run, Kiwi company – but coupled to that trusted aspect of our business, we’ve grown to become a truly integrated firm that’s capable of helping New Zealanders find solutions for any aspect of home renovation and decoration.
